Max Payne 3 gets different, older voice actor

Is all the same, every time the developers decide to make a drastic change to their games people start bitching...

Heck, I remember people bitching because Snake would be old on MGS4..

Max Payne is not about his hair or face, not even about night shootings in New York...

For all you people who are so convinced that taking the series to Brazil is a mistake, I ask you, none of you guys have ever been to Brazil have you? Or for São Paulo for that matter... If you guys think that São Paulo is all about jungles and monkeys jumping around and half-baked mobs you obviously don't know how to use the *GOOGLE* function properly before making assumptions...

São Paulo has all the potential to be in a noir-like story, since pretty much all the city is grey and no one looks/care about the other one..

Oh wait, just like a... lemme see... a Big City maybe?? I wonder what São Paulo and New York has in common... (/sarcasm)

People complain SOOOO much. Just be happy there is a third one even being made and calm down. If we hear the voice and it sucks and/or the story sounds retarted/too different THEN complaining will be justified but at this point you're all just complaining because you have nothing better to do.

Sorry to Vegeta and others who feel that same way, but...

Based off everything I've read and seen (like that Game Informer issue), the game so far just doesn't give me that somber Max Payne feel that I remember from when I was younger.

I know we have lots to see of the game still, but so far I can't help but expect to be disappointed. So far it's simply not Max Payne. :(

I'm not sure about the different voice actor. I mean, once you're an adult your voice doesn't even really change.

I wonder if a toupée will be coming via DLC?

so which one of my beloved franchises gets ruined next? i was ready to quit gaming when kojima traded stealth action espionage for "lightning bolt action", and now this?

*loads my gun*

Even if that is the case, and if they had the choice and means to bring back the original guy to do his voice they should have.

The best thing about one and two was that there was almost no gap. The first one ended, and the second basically picked up immediately. I mean, yea, they can pull off the 12 year gap with the memories and talking about how he got to where he was, but thats still a big time difference. I'm just doubting :(

Fuck you Rockstar! What the Fuck are you doing?! Which corporate, video-game-daft executive came up with this decision?! The same guy who pitched the Street Fighter Chun Li Movie?! Seriously Come On!

You know I read the article and to me it has the makings to be a good game. Kind of reminds me of lethal weapon. You know how bruce willace looked fairly young in the first two, then in the last one you can see he hi rock bottom. I think it will work because true character is really seen when your stripped of everything......including hair.

Minimum Pleasure? Lol, how long have you been holding on to THAT one?

her names egg monroe shes older

2nd this. I really really wanted a Max Payne 3...

especially after all of the improvements 2 had over 1.. (We went from a bushy eyebrowed, frizzy haired mona to.. well.. Moooan-a.) And Max lost that doofy grin and became even more badass looking... Vlad also took on a better voice actor... etc I can go on.. and on about how awesome the first two games were... and it felt like New York... a snow storm, the dark night sky lit up with street lamps... you felt a part of it...

And especially GTAIV there is NO REASON Max Payne is leaving NYC other than rockstar betraying the MP franchise.

No snow, no NYPD, no NYC, no italian/russian mob bosses, I assume the wit is gone as well (baseball bat boy Vinnie gonitti was hilarious)... Max is now ugly as crap... with no reason (oh time has passed BS).. no reason because.. ALL the Max Payne stories happened in the past. Max is telling them AFTER THE FACT. So that must mean we have an even older (wheelchaired) max payne telling the story of this old man roaming a sunny, hot brazil.(wtf?)

So.. again

No snow
No NYC
No NYPD
No 100% nighttime
No mob wars betwixt russians and italians
Oh.. and no James McCaffrey now?

NO BUY.

"All the Max Payne themes will remain intact - manipulation, betrayal, and the stuff that really made Max Payne," art director Rob Nelson backs the decision up with.


Themes? Those are the same themes in HAMLET for eff sake!

Please.. please rename the game already. this is a horrible joke.

*end rant* *vomits*

I don't really get this whole, max being angrier thing. Because Max Payne 2 ended on a positive note if you beat it on DOA and the hardest difficulty endings are generally the "true" endings. Unless Rockstar has worked that in. I was expecting and hoping to see more of Mona. She made Max Payne 2 for me.

Looks like the economical rescission got him hard
